Antimony in Sunrise Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Antimony in the Water Supply of Sunrise Florida Homes

Antimony is a naturally occurring element that can sometimes be found in drinking water at very low levels and is also used in some industrial applications. When it enters a water supply it’s usually present as dissolved ions you can’t see, smell, or taste, so Sunrise homeowners often only discover it through lab testing or a utility report. If tests show higher-than-desired levels, treating the water at the point it enters your Broward County home is a sensible way to protect showers, appliances and drinking water throughout the house.

Because every fixture in a home — from the kitchen and bathrooms to the laundry and water-using appliances — draws from the same incoming supply, antimony is a whole-house issue rather than one limited to a single tap. Many Sunrise residents, whether in Sunrise Lakes, Welleby, or Sawgrass, choose whole-house treatments after seeing results on a test or as a precautionary step. The objective is reliable, consistent reduction at the main line instead of piecing together small under-sink units that leave other outlets unprotected.
